29/09/2025 | 17:05:47 Ms Chair, dear colleagues, Karol NAWROCKI became the victim of a dirty campaign in the 2025 elections. His programme was not attacked. Only his private life, family and past. The media published rumours and anonymous slander at key moments of the campaign. It was an organised campaign to discredit the candidate supported by the patriotic camp. State services were also used. Data from the International Security Agency was leaked to the media, which is scandalous and a threat to democracy... 25/06/2025 | 17:27:56 Mr President, dear colleagues, Gaza is suffering. Women, children, simply people are dying under the rubble and from hunger. The International Court of Justice has found that there is a real risk of genocide. Amnesty International's Human Rights Watch confirm that we are dealing with mass war crimes. The United Nations is sounding the alarm. People in Gaza are starving, bombed and have no access to water or medical care. Innocent children suffer the most. Do Palestinian lives matter less than... 02/10/2024 | 16:31:43 Mister President, Dear colleagues, I understand that many of you don't like the previous Polish government and, of course, you are entitled to such an opinion but this is not a popularity contest but a very serious question about sending a man to jail today or not. The rapporteur indicates this Assembly should assess the seriousness of the case. Where is this in the rules? Rule 73 states explicitly "the Committee shall not make any examination of the merits of the case in question" yet the... 20/06/2023 | 18:03:04 Madam Chair, dear colleagues, I am disappointed that this debate on Poland is taking place today. Why? Let me give you some context. Today, Russia is in an illegal war that has murdered women, children, and destroyed homes, schools and hospitals. Russia is also carrying out a disinformation campaign and conducting a hybrid war against all member States of the Council of Europe. Poland is playing a main role in helping Ukraine in a number of fields: humanitarian, military, and in defending... 15/03/2022 | 15:16:54 Thank you, Mr President, Dear colleagues, Russian foreign policy has been inscribed with aggression and imperial ambitions for years, and dictator Putin does not take into account either his own nation or the right to self-determination by other nations. He ruthlessly violates the principles of the rule of law, human rights and international law. Dictator Putin, you can conjure up reality and you can engage in blunt propaganda. Dictator Putin, you can persuade Russian citizens and the whole... 30/09/2021 | 16:47:29 The situation on the border of Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia is an unprecedented one, which goes far beyond the issues related to immigration and the basic rights (that civilized countries provide to all those seeking security and asylum in the EU.) Alexander Lukashenko's group, inspired by its direct allies, prepared the entire process of transferring immigrants to the border with the Republic of Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. Additional flights were organized through tourist offices for... 26/01/2021 | 19:06:00 Written question During the German Presidency of the European Council a German Court has ruled that the German public television channel does not have to apologise to Mr Karol Tendera – the prisoner of German Auschwitz death camp for using a deceitful and hurtful phrase for him and other prisoners. The German Court acted against European law. You were obliged by European Union law to recognise the Polish court’s judgment in this case ordering an apology. Does the rule of law and the... 28/01/2020 | 11:23:27 Thank you, Madam President. Dear colleagues, today you are talking about the functioning of democracy in Poland, when in France there are constant protests violently suppressed by force against the judges. Germany and the German courts do not respect and do not execute the Polish court judgments, the court you defend. It's a matter of apologizing to Karol Tendera, a prisoner of the German Auschwitz-Birkenau camp for using the phrase "Polish death camps" by German public television. Mr Pieter...
